the new england patriots were waiting for this to unfold. they didn't wait for roger goodell to suspend him. they cut him after about two hours after he had been formerly charged with murder. he's done. >>alisyn: prosecutors establish a motive or what they believe is a motive. they say two days before odin lloyd, the victim, was shot to death, he and hernandez went to a boston bar and apparently hernandez was angry that his friend lloyd was talking to some of his enemies. he didn't like the group of guys that odin lloyd was talking to, and so two days later, according to prosecutors, he called in some hit men basically from connecticut to drive to boston, and they at 3 a.m. picked up odin lloyd and drove around with him. he was so nervous -- the victim -- in the car, he knew something terrible or suspicious at least was going to happen that he sent some a large text messages to his sister. >>steve: the text

messages said, among other things, justice so you know, i'm with hernandez right now. then a little while later according to the prosecution, mr. hernandez and confederates stood over this guy and shot him to death. the cops asked him for his cell phone and tapes from his alarm system but he tried to destroy it. the day they found this guy's body, he called in the maids to clean up all the evidence. >> clean up the evidence at his house or anything around the home. the family of course outraged of this slain individual who says that his body was just tossed in a garbage dump like a piece of trash and that they hope he gets what's coming to hip. >>alisyn: he's also being sued by another former friend who says he was shot. this former friend lost an eye in a shooting incident, and he says that it was intentional at the hands of aaron hernandez.

he's had some trouble in the past with the law. he's had a history of violence. now he's in custody. >> and he just signed a contract extension. $40 million contract extension with the new england patriots. just absolutely -- yeah. what a turn for him. >>steve: and a $12.5 million signing bonus. crazy. speaking of a lot of money, the i.r.s. handles a lot of hours. the mess just got greater. that guy is greg roseman, an i.r.s. deputy director. he took the fifth yesterday a number of times. this was not regarding the targeting of conservatives. instead this was a hearing into questionable contracting practices at the i.r.s. the reason this guy would not answer the questions was because apparently this seemed as if he steered the largest contracts in the history of the i.r.s. to somebody who is a friend of his. a fellow by the name of castillo, president of

strong castle inc. one of the ways mr. cast mr. castillo got half a million dollars worth of contracts was he claimed a minority program which gave disabled vets contracting, this guy claimed etches -- disabled and said he had an injury back in the day. turns out the injury was he twisted his ankle at the u.s. prep academy. that was it. he went on to play football in high school and in college. and when tammy duckworth, who is a double amputee from the iraq war who sat across the table from mr. castillo, she is sitting there with no legs and she is angry that he is using the fact that he twisted his angle in high school to get this half a billion dollars. here's an exchange. it's so powerful. >> did you injure that same

foot again subsequently in the years since you twisted it in prep school? >> not to my recollection. >> do you view the 30% rating that the pain and scars is accurate to the pain pain, that the v.a. is accurate? >> yes, i do. >> my right arm was essentially blown off and reattached. i spent a year with over a dozen surgeries over that time period. in fact, we thought we would lose my arm and i'm still in danger of possibly losing my arm. i can't feel it. i can't feel three fingers. my disability rating for that arm is 20%. shame on you, mr. castillo. you may not have broken any law. we're not sure yet. you did represent to the s.b.a. but you broke the trust to the v.a. and broke the trust of veterans.

veterans are waiting for an average of 230 day for initial disability rating. it is because of people like you who are gaming system so young men and women who are suffering from post traumatic stress cannot get the help they need. twisting your ankle in high school is not defending this nation. >> gaming the system is what it is to try to gain some sort of monetary advantage so you're awarded a special contract. she went on to say i'm sorry twisting your ankle in high school has come to hurt you in such a painful way. 20-some odd years later they file to get this preferential treatment. >> she was so even keeled. she wasn't yelling. she was saying my arm after i sacrificed for this country gives me a 20% rating. that is some sort of

tax-exempt category. and your twisted ankle which you played football on later throughout college is 30%. the crazy -- you know, it shows our system, these strange tax exemptions you can get for false claims. >>steve: in addition to the fact that he said that he, you know, was using that system with the disabled vets, also apparently what he did was he claimed that his company was in a disadvantaged area when in fact the top two executives for the company -- he and his wife -- live in the wealthy virginia suburbs. what he did was he rented an office in china town which was within the designated area that would be qualified for that, and what did he do? he hired a bunch of kids from catholic university because that was also within the designated area. and if they would not live in that area, he would fire them. so he was able to claim that particular thing.

>>alisyn: he's crafty at getting some of these strange loopholes that he can take advantage of. >> the i.r.s. is crafty for coming up with these lavish conferences. i didn't think they could top themselves with the crazy videos, the star trek video, the gilligan's island retreat, the dancing competition. now we're getting another lavish conference from the i.r.s. >>alisyn: they're spending lots of money at a very high-end hotel in atlanta. this is from a 2008 conference. this is before the obama administration. in other words, this sort of abuse has been going on for a long time at the i.r.s. they went to the marriott hotel in atlanta. they didn't have to go to such a fancy hotel. they had $140 dinners, fancy wine wolfgang puck catered it. fancy hors d'oeuvres, open bar. it cost -- it was

incredibly expensive. now that we look back at this, it's funny, michele bachmann said i don't recall having these sorts of perks and lavish atmosphere when i was at the i.r.s. listen to what she had to say. >> let me tell you about one conference i went to when i was an i.r.s. lawyer. it was in florida and it was in august. it was in cinder block buildings. there was no air conditioning. there were no frills. my, how times have changed. it's a very different culture obviously over there now. >> employees are taking a government credit card and they know what they're doing and they're putting purchases on a government credit card for wine, for pornography? anybody knows that's wrong. that's why, yes, we are under the realm of criminal. remember, these are the enforcers of the law. when it comes to the i.r.s., the taxpayer is guilty until they prove themselves innocent. >>steve: such a good point, because the i.r.s. has unquestioned authority

over us, and yet who has had authority and oversight over them? nobody. until now apparently. >> let us know what you think about this. friends at fox news.com. you bailed them out. now general motors is taking the fifth south of the border creating jobs in mexico of all place. stuart varney is coming. watch out. >>alisyn: the push to ban sparklers on the 4th of july because terrorists might use them. ♪ ♪ ♪ hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

it wants to be more efficient. it wants to make money. and the way to do that, it thinks, is head south of the border, gets away from union pay scales, get away from union work rules. get down to mexico, expand cheaply and put the jobs down there, not here. there's a lot of outrage about this. >>clayton: we bailed them out. taxpayers, if we want jobs if the united states, still suffering through this slow period in recovery. we're seeing construction jobs ticking back up, other sectors picking up a little bit but not seeing the robust growth we need. wouldn't a new plant, new jobs, new factory in this country be what we need? >> of course. you can go to mexico. that's what they've done. you could have built in a union state. could have done that. or third option, you could have gone to a right-to-work state. north carolina. do you think president obama would like to see government motors, a company he bailed out, take jobs to a right-to-work state? >>clayton: we saw that with boeing.

testimony, starting off very strong. she told jurors that she actually heard martin describe zimmerman as a creepy man. she said she heard the two confront one another with words before the shooting took place and that she heard martin scream "get off! get off! " moments before the shooting took place. it was during defense cross-examination that she started to falter a little bit. the defense was trying to poke holes in her story and label her as a noncredible witness. they say she's been inconsistent throughout. initially she said she was 16. she is actually 19 years old. she initially lied about why she did not attend martin's funeral. they are trying to use this to label her as a noncredible witness. she is back on the stand this morning at 9 a.m. >>steve: thank you. now this. >> i respectfully decline to answer any questions and invoke my fifth amendment privilege to remain silent. >>alisyn: another i.r.s. official, greg roseman,

is somebody who runs the i.r.s. or whether it is an investigator from the congress because she's protected as an employee by the fifth amendment. >>alisyn: how do congressional investigators ever get to the bottom? >> they have to get the congress to vote her, lois lerner, or this fellow we just showed, or whoever they believe has the most information that can lead them to others that can tell them what happened, vote that person immunity. once you are voted immunity, you don't have the right to claim the fifth amendment and then you are required to answer. if you don't answer, a judge will put you in jail until you do answer. you can be fired for not answering. >>alisyn: if you give that person immunity in order to get more information, you can't prosecute that person? >> you can't prosecute that person on the basis of the information that person gives you. you can prosecute that person on any other independent evidence you generate about that person. alisyn, as a lot of people watching know, law enforcement does this all the time.

>> clayton: it has been less than a month since some of the strongest tornadoes on record tore through central oklahoma, killing dozenses of people and wiping out homes. >> steve: while the state tries to get back on its feet, hundreds have reached out to help. many in the music industry are play ago concert for next week. country music icon ronnie dunn is one of those people and joinses from nashville. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: let's take you back to the day of the tornado. you just woke up in your tour bus behind a cracker barrel restaurant and what was the news? >> it was a rare occasion for my wife and i. we had a place to stay.

we were traveling from there back to nashville. just jumped on the bus because the weather looked sketchy on the planes. a lot of times you get delayed in different places. just by happenstance, woke up in shawnee, oklahoma. that's where the tornado had hit the sunday, actually the day before the one that hit moore. and we were waiting fort driver to rest and the sky got really dark and i kind of looked outside and people were standing in parking lots look at the sky. in oklahoma, that's a bad sign. i had my phone synced up to my maps. i put it in the window to see, first of all, where i was. i didn't know i was in oklahoma. it showed i was in shawnee and showing it was south of moore. i turned on the weather channel and it was saying that you have like 15 minutes to take shelter. so i kind of real quickly ran

back and woke my driver up. it's hitting moore now, which is north of us. he looked at my phone and he said, no, your phone is upside down. it's headed our way. >> clayton: you drove almost a parallel path to the storm. we see these pictures of devastation now. within a few minute, you started seeing on facebook and twitter, the ceo of verizon wanted to do something about this. >> he's a friend of mine through other friends and he saw one of the post. i keep my computers and stuff on in the bus all the time to have something to do. he fired back real quick and said, hey, get kicks from brooks & dunn and let's go fix this thing, get in the middle of it. that kind of started the ball rolling. it probably wasn't five minutes after that that i got a call from some of the people associated with wal-mart asking me to do a concert. i said, i'm not worth 100

test drive, such as you can on a morning show coming up. >> alisyn: all three of us? >> steve: a picture. >> clayton: if i had a picture of your bedroom, that's what it would look like. >> alisyn: i wish that were my bed. you know, the security guard isn't looking, i might be able to wheel that down fifth avenue home. stay tuned for that. let's get to your headlines. a lot of news, including this breaking news. these photos were snapped moments after the crash. the student pilot and his instructor ejected moments before. this shows the men walking away from the scene minutes after the crash. no word on why the jet went down, but witnesses say they heard the engine sputtering before the crash. airline food is being eyed for making 15 people sick to their stomach.

>> steve: that's great. right now a live look in africa where president obama's joint press conference has just begun. we had a live shot just a moment ago. but of course, the president has a very busy couple of days. famously, we know the trip is costing about $100 million. >> clayton: we'll try to get that satellite in. we have it now. it is live. it's back up. >> steve: wendell goler is following it from the white house. >> the president and the african president making statements before taking a couple of questions. the first step on mr. obama's week long trip which is also scheduled to take into south africa and tanzania. trade and investment is the main topic. but nelson mandela's health is likely to have an impact. it's likely to affect the schedule. the two planned a meeting. now officials say that's uncertain. it will be up to mandela's

family to decide whether it happens. the fight not guilty syria and the political fight in washington over how to respond to it appear to have poisoned mr. obama's foreign policy poll numbers. in a fox news poll, 66% disagree with his decision to send weapons to syrian rebels. he had been under pressure for more than a year from leading republicans to do that. he hasn't decided yet what weapons to send. 50% now disagree with his handling of foreign policy. that's almost the reversal of the 49% who approved back in october of last year. in qatar, mr. obama wants to showcase democracy and the rule of law, in addition to trade. president tou ousted his predecessor. president obama will visit the house of slaves from which many africans were shipped to the u.s. as slaves. he's like lie lee to be asked -- likely to be asked questions about edward snowden.

the russians don't want to turn him over to the u.s., but they also made clear they'd like to get rid of him. steve? >> steve: we thank you very much for the live report and we'll be following the president and bring you stuff when we need to. >> alisyn: let's talk about another chapter in the irs scandal. you remember when lois lerner took the fifth in front of the congressional panel. now another irs official there, greg roseman has done the same. obviously congressional congress people want to know what was going on at the irs these past several years when they were taking lavish conferences and targeting conservative groups, but greg roseman is not giving any information until neither are some -- >> clayton: neither are other individuals taking the stand, how they were awarded special treatment as a result of having these contracts. in fact, this one is so outrageous, his name is --

brulio cass see i don't. -- castro i don't. it's alleged he used an injury sustained in a military prepare school to qualify for veterans disability payments, something that happened 27 years ago when he twisted his ankle. after that he was able to play football a number of times and he was fined. he got grilled yesterday. >> steve: he did. here is the thing, mr. roseman apparently is friends and it sounds like mr. roseman, who took the fifth, feared the business to this guy. this guy got close to half a billion dollars for his i.t. company, by among other things, claiming veterans disability. in fact, when a v.a. examiner talked to him about it, he said that his injuries were, quote, crosses that i bear due to my service to our great country. i would do it again to protect this great country. as clayton said, his injury was when he was in prep school, he twisted his ankle. he has absolutely no connection to the military. and this infuriated illinois

congresswoman tammy duckworth because she has served this nation. she lost both of her legs and here is this guy who she is grilling who said that he was disabled, got a half a billion dollars. this is gripping. watch. >> did you injure that same foot again subsequently in the year since you twisted it in prep school? >> not to my recollection. >> do you fear that the 30% rating you have for the scars and the pain in your foot is accurate to the sacrifices that you made for this nation? that the decision is accurate in your case? >> yes, ma'am, i do. >> you know, my right arm was essentially blown off and reattached. i spent a year with over a dozen surgeries over that time period. and in fact, we thought we would lose my arm and i'm still in danger of possibly losing my arm. i can't feel it. i can't feel my three fingers. my disability rating for that

arm is 20%. shaman, mr. ca trio. shaman. you may not have broken any law. you did misrepresent to the sba, but you certainly broke the trust of this great nation. you broke the trust of veterans. iraq and afghanistan veterans are waiting an average of 237 days for an initial disability rating and it is because people like you who are gaming the system are adding to that back log so that young men and women who are suffering from posttraumatic stress, missing limbs, cannot get the compensation and the help that they need. twisting your ankle in prep school is not defending or serving this nation. >> alisyn: good for her. it is despicable what he had claimed when you compare his injury to hers, a real war veteran who was injured in the line of duty. >> steve: and he used that to get close to half a billion dollars worth of business for his company. >> alisyn: right. which speaks to the larger issue

of these irs contracts being completely capricious. you can game the system -- >> steve: if you have a friends. >> alisyn: if you have a business and you want to secure these potentially very lucrative contracts, you can possibly come up with a way that you fit into a category and they should look at redoing the system. >> clayton: they should also look at redoing the system and they have. they tried to make adjustments on all these lavish conferences that the irs was holding. we saw the videos they were producing. when, by the way, they said they didn't have the resources to go after a lot of the fraud that was taking place and sending 23,000 individuals, illegal immigrants, all kinds of refunds when they said they didn't have the resources to go after them. if you stop these lavish conferences, we know of a new one that took place. >> steve: that was in 2008. they spent $2.4 million at the

marriott. it apparently was really fancy. and we're just finding out about it now. we're horrified. but you know what? brand-new fox news poll out shows that a lot of us feel that something has to be done with the irs. 22% of you say that they should abolish it or build a new agency. 44% say major reorganization. so between the two of those, you got close to two-thirds of the country saying either blow it up or fix it big time. only 30% say yeah, tweak it a little bit or it's perfect. clayton: who are those 5%? >> steve: they work there! [ laughter ] >> alisyn: exactly. they work there. obviously congress is trying to figure out what to do about the irs moving forward. >> steve: one other thing about the irs, tomorrow the house committee, darrell issa's house committee is going to vote on whether or not lois lerner waived her fifth amendment rights by saying, i take the fifth and then proclaimed her innocence right there. so they're going to try to

figure out tomorrow if she broke the law. she could be back in the hot seat and actually then forced to say something other than sorry, can't talk. >> alisyn: by the way, even today members of congress, including congressman baucus and hatch are trying to figure out if it's time to do away with some of these loop holes and change the system. >> clayton: loopholes and tax exemptions. those could be on the chopping block. coming up, aaron hernandez charged with the execution-style murder of his friend. this morning we're getting brand-new information about the evidence. peter johnson, jr. is here with that next. >> steve: and the empire state building here in the empire up for sale. and a mysterious buyer from the middle east. what we know straight ahead hey, it's michelle bernstein.

>> clayton: he was gone from nfl starter to murder suspect. aaron hernandez was arrested in connection with the shooting death of semi pro football player odin lloyd. hernandez, who is also facing weapons charges, is being held without bail this morning. fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. is going to take a closer look at the case. >> good morning. this is interesting. they've been looking at it in a

very short time period. we saw the video of police going to his house time and time again taking things out. they put together a murder charge based upon cell phone records, triangles lating cell phone records to see where a person was. his own video surveillance. surveillance at an industrial park, and bit pieces of evidence like a shell casing, another gun that was found that allegedly had his fingerprints on, and bubbleicious bubble gum tied to a car rental and allegedly involving mr. hernandez and two accomplices who he allegedly sent to kill odin lloyd, a semi pro football player. >> clayton: that's a fascinating part. prosecutors seem like they've got this locked up. they're out there talking about this was an execution-style, premeditated. he called these guys in from connecticut and said, quote, you can't trust anyone. i need your help to come down. >> yeah.

absolutely. and then there is a text message that was sent by the victim, mr. lloyd, giving indication saying, nfl. >> clayton: around 3:00 o'clock in the morning when he was picked up. he texted his sister to say, i don't know if you saw who i left with. >> at this point, the murder weapon has not been found. that's an important part of the case. at this point the accomplices allegedly have not been found. we're not aware that they're giving testimony against mr. hernandez. and it becomes a race to the courthouse who testifies against who. these alleged accomplices be caught? will they finger hernandez? will hernandez try and finger them? i'm not the shooter, they're the shooter. they're the people that had the gun. he's had a kind of strange history. he allegedly shot a friend of his earlier this year. the friend to the police said no, he didn't do it. but then turned around and sued him while this investigation was

going on. problems with marijuana in the past, allegedly problems with violence. a young man, 23 years old with a $40 million contract, allegedly killing the guy who is dating his fiance's sister because he had been speaking to the wrong people. >> clayton: at a bar. >> at a club. what's involved? drugs involved? is other criminal behavior involved? his football career is over. >> clayton: and the patriots came out two hours later and said we are done with him. we washed our hands. >> this is a fascinating case. >> clayton: yeah. it's going to get crazier, too. peter johnson, jr., always great to see you. >> thank you. >> clayton: coming up, disturbing message from beyond the grave. the diary belonging to ambassador chris stevens revealed. what he wrote about benghazi is chilling. then want to keep your job or impress at the next interview? then you probably don't want to dress like this. cheryl casone is here with the

family vacation. they misdiagnosed your illness. they thought you had the flu. it turns out your appendix broke, right? and you were on the operating table and that's when you say what happened? >> well, during the first operation, that's when i got my trip to heaven. >> steve: that's what the book is about, what heaven is like, right? >> well, heaven is for real. it talks about what my parents were going through and how they figured out about my story, but the kids' book, that talks about -- it focuses mainly on my experience in heaven. >> steve: sure. let's talk a little bit about what you saw. you saw jesus, didn't you? >> yes, i did. >> steve: what's he like? >> well, jesus, you know, you have a best friend and you love to be around them? jesus is a lot like that because you want to be with him and you don't want to leave. >> steve: in addition to that, you saw great grandfather you

had never met before that died 30 years earlier? >> yes. >> steve: in heaven, is everybody -- at what age is everybody? are they young or old? >> well, if you leave earth as an old man or old woman, then you appear in heaven in your young body, like late 20s, early 30s. so you'll be young in heaven. if a kid -- if they died young or they were miscarriaged, they actually do age in heaven 'til they get to that age. >> steve: todd, one of the things that -- when he woke up and he started telling you the story, i'm sure the first thing you thought was, well, it was some sort of a dream or fantasy. but there was one part where he talked about a sister he had never met who you had never told him about. >> yeah. he was only three years old and ten months in that first surgery. so you never talk to kids that young about babies dying in their mommy's tummy. i remember he said i have two sisters and he said, mom, you

had a baby die in your tummy, didn't you? and i met her. when he talks about her, not only can he describe her and tell us what she looks like, but she knows us and she sees us and she couldn't wait for him to get to heaven. she was at the gates meeting had imwhen he got there. >> steve: why do you think, colton, you got to go to heaven and then come back? >> well, i don't know why god chose me and i'm still trying to figure out why he chose our family. but now that we've been doing all this, i'm still not sure why. >> steve: and you traveled all across the country. you told the story. what's the one thing that people take away from it? i mean, it's very uplifting and affirming to know there is a heaven. you've seen it with your own soul, such as it is. >> i think people need hope and the hope that god can really fix things in the end, i think everyone goes through terrible things down here, terrible questions, terrible loss. to know that not only god's word

is true, but here is a little child, a four-year-old that can sit there and say, i saw this. i think most people realize a child as a witness is probably your most honest and reliable witness. >> steve: sure. and the big development is, it's now a movie. >> it's going to be a movie. they started shooting this tuesday of this week. hopefully by easter of this next year, sony will produce a movie based on this. >> steve: fantastic. they did a nationwide search and found somebody who looked a lot like you, didn't they? >> well, they went across the u.s., but they also went into canada. >> steve: very good. we'll look for the movie coming out when? >> easter of next year, 2014. >> steve: fantastic. all right. todd and colton, author of "heaven is for real," we thank you very much. >> thank you for having us. >> steve: coming up, stacy dash under attack for saying only god can judge paula deen. what do you think about that? we're going to talk about that with michelle malkin top of the morning. good morning to you

because it sounds like he steered about half a billion dollars worth of small business. of course, it points out to just how massive the tax code and all of the enforcement rules are and how it is ripe for this kind of abuse and fraud that is now being highlighted. anything that gives momentum to the effort to make our tax code

fairer flatter and our government smaller, i'm all for. three cheers for that. >> steve: the thing about this particular guy who got the half a billion dollars, it sounds like he was -- he had applied for a special government program that was available to veterans who had a disability. as it turns out, this guy had no connection aside from his friend, at the irs. no connection to the military other than the fact that he played at the u.s. military academy in prep school and twisted his ankle 27 years ago and he's absolutely fine and yet he said i should get the money because of my -- what i've given to my country. >> yes, that's right. a real hero there. and it's exactly those kind of yarns that are being told to get these kind of benies. fortunately, there was a rival company that shed light on this and there is also good whistle blowing going on. i'm sure there are other

companies that have similar stories to tell and the flood gates have broken up. >> alisyn: i don't know if you had a chance to see the exchange between congresswoman tammy duckworth who was -- is an injured veteran, a double amputee and how she dressed him down. i mean, in a very sort of even keeled, calm, yet compelling way. >> yeah. i think it was a fairly devastating deconstruction of this fakeer story. i think that's part of the huge outrage here is the abuse of something that was really intended to help people who were bonafide veterans and war heros and people who served our country. >> clayton: it's outrageous. here is something else that's worrying a lot of americans. what's going to happen with their health care? let's throw up this new poll. how does obamacare make you feel about your current health care in this country? 66% of folks say they're worried now. that's a huge tick up from 2012 when they weren't as much

worried. 51%, that's still a high number. now we're learning that the white house is basically recruiting some celebrities to go out and make sort of the pr pitch for obamacare. i don't know, television commercials, print advertisements, getting celebrities to go out there. what do you make of this? >> yeah. this is just the latest in the no obamacare program left behind at the white house. what you have is a recruitment strategy to get every last celebrity, now there is sports authority, the nfl, nba has been dragged into this by kathleen sebelius at hhs. of course, i think the biggest outrage is one you didn't mention, but which has gotten out there because of conservative journalists and reporters. there is a blogger. lauryn hill that talked about this. even school children in los angeles being recruited to lie about the great success of

obamacare. really, who is surprised? we knew that this entire enterprise was going to be a massive effort to justify bigger government and so, of course, now they're spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to pay people to flak for something that is an obvious failure, which those poll numbers underscore. the truth is finally getting out there and sunlight is the best disinfectant. >> steve: it only god can judge your heart. by the way, my daughter loves

your show. only way to get me to cook. after she tweeted that, she was, as you detailed on your web site, she was absolutely ravaged. >> yes. this is a great example. and savaged. this is a great example of just how two-faced and hypocritical so many of these members of the tolerance mob are because at the same time they condemn paula deen for bigotry and prejudice and the crimes of racism in public, they then turn around and sling the worst kind of racial things at a woman, stacy dash, who had the audacity to be kind and compassionate towards somebody who has been under attack. is it not true that yes, god is the ultimate judge of her heart? of course it is. but for simply sending that message, you should see the

filth and vile that's come her way. one of the reasons that i started twitchy in the first place and we've got a great team, that monitors a lot of the reaction from the far left that has gotten away with these double standards when it comes to racism. and liberal racists are the absolute worst. >> steve: she joins us every week at this time. >> alisyn: thanks, michelle. >> steve: yeah. check out her web site. it is twitchy.com. i just got a text message from my wife. what does that say? >> alisyn: i had the weirdest dream. you were in bed with your co-host. >> steve: so weird.

first question from don in winchester, california. we filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy. we were told to move out of the house since foreclosure was going to happen within six months. the servicer wants to do aided in lieu of forecsure with a second mall -- small second that was included in the bankruptcy. can we do this? also we want to move back until something happens. i am a disabled marine veteran. can you help him? >> yeah. lot of issues on this. first of all, so our viewers understand, the service is the person you make the payments to every month that pays the learned involved. so in this case, what they basically, one of the largest servicers, threaded in lieu says the home are deeding my property back to you, the servicer. the reason they want that, since there has been a foreclosure, and the debt hag discharged, they want to get title back without going through a formal foreclosure to sell the house. so before you do anything, sir, please, get legal advice.

make sure that the document you signed is the proper document and you're released from any and all liability and future responsibilities. >> steve: absolutely. gout to have good legal advice and documentation. next up, stacy from michigan asks, my home is $40,000 under water. we need a larger house because our family is growing. we were approved nor a new home and -- for a new home and we have to decide about our current home and doing a short sale. what other options do we have without affecting our credit? that's a big question. >> it is because what you could do is you could lease the property to somebody and become a landlord. sometimes that really becomes difficult because being aliunde lard means you're in -- landlord means you're in charge of the home. you could short sale it. be very careful, whenever you get approved for another loan, you have to disclose if you're moving out of the home that you previously owned. there is a thing out there called buy and bail. the lender, they don't like that. they don't like that you're

buying something else and bailing on the other home. so make sure that there is disclosure here so you don't get yourself in trouble when you bail on the other home by a short sale. so very, very important. again, get good advice to how you technically can do it. but you can always lease it for purposes of saving your credit. >> steve: good advice. final question. tony says i recently went to mexico and got hustled for a vacation club. i want to cancel the contract. i sent a certified letter. the company refuses and turned it over to legal. how do i get my money back? >> on these time share things, there is usually nonrefundable money. they have recourse against you under the terms of the contract. these places, many times, hustle people that are on vacations. put them in a room, drill them for many hours and force them into a contract. if you get a letter from a lawyer saying you owe x amount of dollars, get a lawyer as soon as possible to respond. most likely you're going to lose the money you put into it and

hopefully you're not going to be bound by the entire contract. generally what they do is they sell it to somebody else. they mitigate their damage and you walk away from it. get good legal advice. >> steve: it's not all time shares. we have owned a time share for 20 years and it's been fantastic. >> there is good ones out there. be careful. if it's high pressure sales, that's what happens many times. they work on the excitement and sometimes they're scams. but there are many good ones out there. >> steve: it could be that maitai. >> it could be. >> steve: thank you very much for joining us from san diego. >> take care. >> steve: straight ahead, can the spoon you use to eat your breakfast make your food taste better? the spoon, the answer is yes and the yummy reason why coming up. then the nsa spying on you is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. john stossel has the long list straight from george orwell's playbook as he walks into the studio with alisyn camerota ♪

war, bans on gambling. these are all bans. nsa spy not guilty this form -- spying may be less invasive than having a cop search our houses and the jury is out. >> alisyn: why has this one captured the public's anxiety more than the ones you've listed? >> one is that we always focus on the new threat, we just discovered it and the totality of it. the fact it's all our e-mails and phone calls that might be accessible, though just the data as far as we can tell threatens people. >> alisyn: can i see your list? you're only touching on it. >> i'm up to 150. boudin this in a couple of hours. >> alisyn: five-year-old punished for bringing guns to school. >> government choosing where your kid must go to school. >> alisyn: abuse of eminent domain rules. arbitrary jail sentences. those are bad. mandatory minimum laws. those are bad. that's the judge's discretion. >> right. you get 17-year-olds who are punished for sleeping with their

>> steve: we have got a fox business alert. labor department releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers, 346,000 first time unemployment claims were filed last week. that is a few thousand less than

the week before and more than expected. so 346 is the number. we'll talk to nicole petallides about that in a little while. >> alisyn: president obama is speaking out about the nsa leaker what he will do in a showdown with russia. wendell goler has that breaking news from the white house. >> hi. the president says he won't elevate snowden to the top of u.s. russian or u.s.-chinese relations, even though snowden's leaks are described as dangerous. mr. obama said even though the u.s. and russia don't have an extradition policy, moscow could send him home under an international law. he spoke during a q and a session with the president and defended his decision not to personally appeal to the leaders of russia and china. >> i have not called them personally or president personally personally and the reason is because number one, i

shouldn't have to. this is something that routinely is dealt with between law enforcement officials and various countries and this is not exceptional from a legal perspective. >> the president said the damage is already done by revealing the national security agency can obtain phone and internet records. but he conceded snowden still has classified documents that he still hasn't released, suggesting there could be other leaks. mr. obama said that's why he wants snowden in custody. says the case shows significant vulnerabilities at the national security agency that need to be solved. snowden reportedly took his job at an nsa contractor with the goal of getting classified operation to leak. the president said the country needs a healthy debate about how to balance national security with privacy concerns. snowden is still at the transit hotel in international section of moscow's airport which allows the russians to say technically that he's not in the country.

at some point snowden will take a flight out. the russians have made clear they would like that sooner rather than later. mr. obama said he won't scramble fighter jets to force the passenger plane that snowden is on to land. alisyn? >> alisyn: all right. thank you so much for that update. love to hear what all of you have to think about that. the president's position that he shouldn't have to talk to the presidents of russia or china because we have a policy in place, an extradition policy where they should turn him over. but it might help if he picked up the phone and called them. >> steve: why not? last time he was with mr. putin, mr. putin was pouting. we saw that picture where the two of them have very strained relations. still, if mr. snowden is so important to the national security and justice in this country, pick up the phone, say hey, help us out. come on of the we've had cooperation in the past with the boston bombers. let's get some of this stuff going right here. but no. i shouldn't have to call him. >> clayton: i'm glad you brought

up the boston thing. this is, going forward, we'll have more cooperation with the russian government. wouldn't this be an opportunity of goodwill? vladimir saying we don't have to deal with it. here is the foreign policy question this morning in a poll, how do you think the president is handling foreign policy? 41% approval rating right now. >> alisyn: that's down from a year ago, or i should say i guess -- from 49% to 41% and disapprove has gone up from october. it was 44% to now 50%. >> clayton: more on the snowden case right now. for the first time we'll see inside the hideout at the moscow airport. he left hong kong last week to seek asylum in ecuador. but it could take months to process his request. he's living in a hotel room like this in a transit zone hotel, similar to these pictures. according to russian president putin, that puts him out of reach of russian law.

that hasn't stopped putin before, by the way, pushing the law a bit for his needs, right? >> steve: meanwhile, is it racist or a reality? the f.b.i. put these ads on seattle buses and billboards. the faces of global terrorism shows pictures of 16 men on the f.b.i.'s most wanted terror list. all of the men are muslim. and that upsets some people who say it stereotypes muslims. the f.b.i. now taking the ads down over the next couple of weeks. >> alisyn: sorry, kids. your fourth of july celebration looking its spark thanks to michael bloomberg. he wants to ban the sale of sparklers because it's possible terrorists could use them. bloomberg push to go veto a bill allowing the sale saying they could get into the hands of the enemy. in 2010, the times square bomber used one, but fire crackers contain gun powder. sparklers do not.

>> steve: one sparkler can't hurt you, but if you put a bunch together, it could make a hot fire. >> alisyn: that makes sense. >> clayton: so can lincoln logs. are you going to ban those next? can spoons make your food taste better? yes. according to a new study. a brand-new report finds that a thin plastic spoon makes yogurt taste creamier and more expensive than a heavier spoon. they find yogurt tastes sweeter when eaten off of a light colored spoon. researchers think we could use these factors to help us lose weight. >> alisyn: how does it make yogurt taste more expensive? what does expensive taste like? >> clayton: what thank is what we're spending money on research lately. >> steve: of course, ice cream would be great on a hot day like today, or just cooling off in a dunk tank where maria molina is right now. >> yes. i'm keeping the seat warm for clayton. >> clayton: thank you. >> he's going to be here later on this morning where we'll try to dunk him. what i'm also doing to help you out is putting ice in the water to make sure the temperature is just right for you when you get
